God’s Good Grace
Posted (Amy) in Flippin' Sweet on December-21-2006

I was looking over the AKC papers today and found out our Grace’s parents’ names. Her mom is Hershey Chocolate Hills and her dad is Rocky’s Billy The Kid. How cute are those?

We picked Grace out last night after riding past a church with the same name in its title - it just fits her when you look at her. We call her Grace, Gracie and I’ve been calling her Gracie Jane. I’ve never owned a purebred before, so this fancy-schmancy naming thing is all new to me, but I think I found a pretty darn good one considering all the circumstances around getting her.

Let me introduce to you - God’s Good Grace. How perfect is that?

And she is perfect, too. The past 24 or so hours have gone really well. She didn’t cry at all last night in her crate, she already knows her name and she just now went to the door and whined to go outside to potty. Apparently, we’ve got a doggie genius on our hands. hee!

That is sweet! I have never had a purebred before either, but last Jan, we had to put down our “Pound Puppy”, Bella - a Rottweiler(muttish mix!). My daughter got me a purebred cocker in March for my BD. (She’s a vet tech @ an animal hosp, so has breeder contacts) His name is Mr Bojangles (BO to us). And although he’s good (like a 2 yr old again!) - I get irritated sometimes, cause I taught the kids that you NEVER buy something live for anyone…I can’t imagine my little life without him! I know this will be a fun and trying Christmas for us all! LOL! God Bless!

So cute! I’m glad she’s being good. Yay! Funny, weren’t you considering “Hershey” as a name for her?

God’s Good Grace is perfect! It’s funny, because I named our Gracie…Grace, because she was brought to us “the Grace of God!”

:) Great minds think alike my friend. Best to your family and welcome to your new family member Gracie.

Her name is so perfect in these circumstances! How awesome that she’s asking to go out! (Totally JEALOUS here!)

I’m glad your family has been blessed with Miss Gracie.
